My review:

While I couldn’t shake the feeling that this was just Dark Lover with Rogue vamps taking the place of Lessers, I really quite enjoyed this book. Lucan was yummy in a Black Dagger Brotherhood kind of way, and the smexy scenes were very hot. I also loved the other brothers – um, warriors – and their shellans – oh, never mind! – and loved the whole Batcave feel of their compound.

So, it looks like I’ve started yet another series. Yep, I’ll be reading the others, probably pretty soon. I believe Dante is up next 🙂
